I'm not certain, but I think my pdoc might have confused melanin with melatonin. She told me my body will make melanin when I'm out in the sun. I'm sure being out in the sun will affect melatonin levels but they are clearly not the same thing. I wonder if she just mis-said it. Melanin is a skin pigment thing, not the same as melatonin at all.
It just feels like my pdoc isn't all that up on the biology side of things, but then I think that she must be because she went to a really good university to learn her medicine. I mean, just getting into med school here in Canada is next to impossible here. It's harder to get into med school here than in the US.
